supply and 98% in sewer and close to 100% in waste-water treatment.
Recent statistics show mean domestic water consumption for the city at about 12% of total discharge or 10,400 liter per second (~2750 gallons) with lows in winter of 9,300 L/s (2,457 gallons) and high peaks in summer of 12,100 L/s (~3200 gallons) SADM estimated 2002 daily per capita domestic water consumption to be 130 L (32.5 gal.), down 18% to constant supply of 335 million m3/year even though there has been a constant increase in population.
